My Poem About Change: "Change Is" 

When I was working on my Masters' Degree in Counseling, I took a class on change. It makes sense to include the topic of change during counselor training because most of the people counselors work with are going through transitions of one sort or another. 

I took the class near the end of my degree. It was during a time when I was going through a tremendous amount of change in my own life. In one year, I finished my degree, empty nested, divorced, moved, and started my counseling private practice. 

Change encompasses many paradoxes. It isn't all the same. Sometimes we choose change. Sometimes it's thrust upon us. 

 

Change Is

By Ann Silvers

Change takes energy,
Releases energy,
Is tiring,
Exhilarating.

Change requires focus,
Happens without our knowing,
Is conscious,
Subconscious.

Change is moving forward,
Stepping back,
In our interests,
Error.

Change is a clenched gut,
Blood coursing through veins,
A deer caught in the headlights,
Homerun.

Change is molasses in January,
A speeding bullet,
A blinking of an eye,
Cataclysmic.

Change is exercise,
Reading a book,
Mending a heart,
Prayer.

Change is learning to walk,
Adolescent dating,
Raising children,
Menopause.

Change is a red light,
Can’t go this way,
Take another route,
Stop.

Change is a yellow light,
Decisions to make,
Tentative steps,
Caution.

Change is a green light,
Time to move,
Opportunity knocks,
Go.
